Key Injuries:

  • QB Justin Herbert has torn cartilage in ribs.  Week to week.
  • QB Trey Lance tore his achilles, out for season.
  • RB James Conner sprained his ankle and day to day.
  • WR Jerry Jeudy hurt his shoulder and is day to day.
  • TE Tyler Kroft hurt his knee for the 49ers but Kittle might be back.

  • WR Chris Godwin might still be out.
  • WR Julio Jones might still be out.
  • TE Dalton Schultz with an ankle and day to day.
  • RB Alvin Kamara didn’t play.

Waiver Wire:

  • RB Darrel Williams for the Conner injury.
  • RB Eno Benjamin for the Conner injury.
  • RB Raheem Mostert might take over lead back.
  • QB Jimmy Garoppolo for the Lance injury and huge upside.
  • QB Joe Flacco is looking like he might keep the job if all goes well.
  • QB Jacoby Brissett is looking ok himself.
  • RB Jerick McKinnon played 39% of snaps.
  • WR Garrett Wilson has been a beast with 154 yards and 2 TDs.
  • TE Logan Thomas looks good again for now.

Non-starters trending up for Week 3:

  • WR Adam Theilen vs the Lions will have a good game.
  • WR Allen Robinson vs the horrible Cardinals D.
  • RB Cam Akers against the terrible Cardinals as well.
  • WR Russell Gage vs the Packers.
  • WR Amari Cooper vs Pittsburgh’s pass D.
  • WR Robert Woods vs the Raiders pass D.
  • WR Russell Gage vs the Packers D.
  • WR Scotty Miller vs the Packers D.   (Just like in that playoff game baby)
  • TE Cameron Brate vs the Packers D.
  • RB Dameon Pierce vs Chicago’s bad run D.
  • QB Justin Fields against Houston’s bad D.
  • RB JD McKissic vs the Eagles will get some points.
  • WR Drake London vs the Seahawks looks good.

Busts:

  • RB Chase Edmonds vs Buffalo’s D is a bust.
  • RB Melvin Gordon vs San Francisco’s D is tough.
  • RB Aaron Jones vs the Buccaneers is tough.
  • RB Christian McCaffery is a bust.
  • QB Russell Wilson vs San Fransico’s D is hard.
  • QB Jameis Winston vs Carolina’s D is questionable.
  • QB Tom Brady vs Green Bay’s D won’t be good if none of his WRs are healthy

Nasty Sleeper:  WR Robert Woods.   I think he has a great game vs the Raiders here.

Kiev O'Neil: 20+ years of sports betting experience. Podcast host since 2017. College Football since 2019 412-367-27 UP 58.7U NFL since 2018 249-228-16 up 40U UFC since 2019 82-74-5 up 34.1U I do not necessarily look at myself as being a so called “sharp” sports bettor. Instead I like to think of myself as a great compiler of information who specializes in the Big 10, but also handicaps all NFL, NCAA football, UFC, Basketball, Horse Racing and more! I encourage people to specialize in a conference or division that will help give them the greatest edge in their sports wagers. I am never against a person betting against their favorite teams when the situation is right.
